Cicada

[HellDragon-HK]

UT2004 Draw - 1.0? UT3 Draw - 1.3 UT3Port Draw - 1.0 / 1.17 like the Raptor the ground collision makes it difficult to tell NOTES:

UT3 Drawscale Animation Update https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DZCJnLy7IRMpJzHNN8loy-05YxL0lbm0

• ANIMATION RELATED

  • [ ] Rotor blades are not spinning (in flight the blades are completely still)
  • [ ] Rotors are in diagonal position when sitting on the ground or moving forward or backward, when hovering they are horizontal on UT3, on the port they are only diagonal when sitting on the ground

• [ ] In UT2004 the engines are missing an animation that when hovering the engines are mostly closed and open when moving at speed in UT3

  • [X] ~Try 1.17 or so Drawscale...confirmed to use UT3 Draw instead and scale down if needed~

• GAME PLAY RELATED

  • [ ] UT3 Cicada takes about 2-3 seconds to completely stop on it's own from full speed and in UT2004 stops almost instantly when you let go of the button (yes it's in reverse from the Raptor this time)
  • [ ] In UT3 Cicada also gracefully and slowly falls if you jump out in mid air, it also tucks it's turret in after it lands as well as some small squares on the front sides, UT2004 Cicada also tucks in but I think it's as soon as you get out, can't tell with how fast it falls
  • [ ] Try to solve spawn issues in maps like Urban where it's placed so low to the ground it's stuck for a few seconds on spawn
  • [X] Cicada collision damage is only 1-2 points of health in UT3 with any object including other vehicles, in UT2004 it takes nearly 100 points from a wall just barely bumping into it even when not moving at speed
  • [X] UT3 Cicada barely tilts moving sideways even at speed, UT2004 Cicada has a lot of tilt

• SOUND RELATED

  • [ ] UT2004 Cicada is missing sound heard when moving at speed in UT3...64 bit issue and likely not fixable
  • [ ] UT3 Movement sound is different, in UT2004 we still hear the engine, and in UT3 we here the thrusters more but not the engine loop....hmm kind of on the fence about it as I like hearing the engine sound but the thrusters sound seems missing altogether

• VISUAL EFFECTS RELATED

  • [x] 6 thin jet trails (I guess streamers is what they are called) are missing when moving (3 on each side)
  • [ ] Engine fire isn't blue, on UT3 it has similar color to a shock core
  • [x] Smoke & Sparks Damage Phase - At around 320 health has smoke and sparks coming from top middle of right engine....I think I found what this is, I think it's DamagedEffects or something similar, I'll edit with the exact thing later
  • [x] On Fire Damage Phase - At around 192 health fire is added to engine smoke and additionally at the very bottom of lower left side near front of Cicada
  • [X] Port has the UT2004 Raptor lights in the middle of of it, also no light is hitting the wall that I can see, I can't tell but I don't see a headlight on UT3 (stock UT2004 Cicada has lights coming from the gunner turret but here isn't supposed to be is there I don't see any indication of it from the texture

Ok GE, you can remove the old Cicada now and I'll handle keeping track of the list for you

EDIT - Added link for drawscale edit....this one might be an issue as it gets stuck in the ground on Urban, although it was already doing that before any edits so maybe not something that can be dealt with, as I've seen so far it still is usable but it takes a little longer for the turret to come up from the ground now, Alex also confirmed initially (before any ukx edit) that it's the way the spawn is placed in the map and we probably can't do much about it.

Updated the collision and now it seems to be spawning fine everywhere except Urban which needs time to raise it's turret from the ground, it was doing this even before I changed anything so it's the map's spawn point that is the issue

[HellDragon-HK]

@GreatEmerald To fix the Cicada's spawn issues with Urban (seems fine on all the other maps) and probably several custom maps, can the spawn type be changed to the tank drop in so it spawns in the air instead of half in the ground or is this set in the map

[GreatEmerald]

I'm pretty sure it's set in the map.
